Apparently, there are many more such stories of Gresham doing great things to help others and doing them without any sort of fanfare.

The Cardinals’ Twitter account retweeted several such examples of those who shared the experiences.

This occurred in Tempe at a supermarket.

Class act. True story: At a supermarket in Tempe a woman who looked down on her luck was buying milk, bread and some diapers. She was fumbling through her purse searching for change to have enough to pay. Jermaine Gresham (who was behind me) pushed through and paid for everything

My favorite Gresham story: His car was parked at a meter when the time expired. A homeless good samaritan put money into the meter, helping Gresham avoid a $55 fine. Gresham gave the man $100 in thanks. https://t.co/cqAHG9ZMdw

Gresham doesn’t use social media and, according to Kyle Odegard for the official team site, he was not terribly comfortable talking about the event at the airport. He downplayed what he did and was noticeably relieved when reporters changed the subject to something else.

How much respect does Gresham get for how he is off the field? Teammate D.J. Humphries thinks he should be the Walter Payton Man of the Year, the highest honor a player can receiver off the field.
